We want to use this tank with a wave 6 catalytic heater in our 24' motor home. Any out there done this?

You should not use propane in an enclosed area due to asphyxiation. You must leave a window cracked fairly wide.

I use mine in my 5th wheel camper, easy to carry around and squat makes it not tilt. I use it with my Webber Q grill, just like any propane tank, should work with a catalytic heater.

I bought this to use with my two burner stainless camp stove, but I see no reason why it would not perform very well in a catalytic heater.

No, I haven't done that. The tank works great for camping as a stove and light propane source, with the relevant equipment. If the heater you mention is supposed to work with standard propane tanks, then sure, it should work on this one.

I use propane. There is a slide out drawer for the tank and hardware to connect in the unit.

I have used the Wave 6 up to 10,000 feet and it worked fine. The important issue regarding this heater is oxygen. Make sure you have a window and roof vent cracked open enough to replace the oxygen the heater uses. This is critical for your safety. Like someone else said,this is different then a Buddy heater.

I kept mine horizontal for a year, with no problem at all. Eheim Jager's are a very good product from my experience. I took a chance and kept my 200W heater in a sump-well that had 4 tanks connected to it, for a total of 185 gallons, and it handled the work flawlessly. For a single tank set-up, I would follow the manufacturer's guidelines, which in your case is to use a 250W heater.

It should be a residential type tank 100 gal or larger, and needs a pressure regulator. My propane company came out and did the LP hookup after I installed the unit, I found they were happy to do this as I pointed out it was another unit to use their propane besides the stove...

I can only answer you from a electrical standpoint. At 24 kW and 240volts, you would draw 100 amps of current. You would need an electrical panel capable of handling 200 amps, if these were the only 2 circuits. If you installed two of these tankless heaters in addition to the rest of the house, you would need more than 200amp service. Larger than 200amp is possible, but not common in a residential situation.

Yes. I had my local Chevrolet dealer install mine. Works great, only complaint would be the burping (?) (diesel spits out the fill tube venting air) that occurs when filling the tank. I suspect it is a venting issue, however the extra range more than makes up for that inconvenience.

The 10 watt is too much for your tank. I had mine in a 3 gal and it was too warm.

Sure, but you'll be operating it at capacity and that might lower the life expectancy of the heater. I used two to reduce the load on just one big one and if one does go out, the other can carry the load until I get a new one. My tank is a marine tank, it might not be as big a deal for fresh water. Hope that helped.

It's fine, I use mine in a 55 Gal so you have plenty even if you decide to go to a bigger tank. Enjoy these are the best heaters.

I would advise to be careful before purchasing this unit. It requires specialized venting for the exhaust system, hard to find and expensive. Not sure what temp. it reaches, might look at going with an RV style water heater.

You should really have a plumber fix this for you. Is the tank supplying the house already? Is so, you would have to branch off the main line to make a heater connection.

Well it will certainly work but it's overkill. a 40 gallon should only require a 100 - 150 watt model. This one is cheaper so you might as well. That way if you ever upgrade your tank you already have a larger heater.

Hello RaeRae, You answer is not so simple. The capacity of a heater not only depends on the heater itself, but the original temperature of the medium. Even though this is rated for a larger tank than you are asking about, if the place the tank will be in much colder than average is may be a good choice. If your water starts at 65 degrees, and you want it at 78, this may work for you. If you start at 72, this may get the water hotter than you want. Another aspect to consider is how much water movement you have in your tank. The more water movement, the better the heat will be distributed, and the water will be closer to the thermo's temp setting. I agree with JR, I have not seen any for that small of a size. You could look at reptile heating accessories that afix to the outside of the tank, it would be a hack though.

Hello. Yes, its very good for Boon-Docking. We have been RVer's for over 46 years. Yes its very simple to tap into your RV's Low Pressure Propane Lines. The Wave #6 is a very good Propane Heater. We have been Boon-Dockers for most of our 46 years as RV'ers'. We never even use our Motorhomes Furance anyways. As we also have a "BUDDY" MR. Heater and a "BIG BUDDY" MR HEATER as well, I mounted our Wave #6 Propane Heater as a Portable, and with enough Low Pressure Propane Hose that was long enough to reach from one end of the RV to the other end of the RV. That way you can move the # 6 Wave Heater to where never you want the most heat to be at. We have been using our wave # 6 Heater for a little over 20 years now. Its a Fantastic Propane Heater. And yes we sleep with it on all night when ever it is needed. Just follow a few simple instructions that come with the Wave # 6 Propane Heater, and you'll do just fine. One thing though, make sure you buy a " WAVE HEATER COVER" for when you not using the Wave # 6Heater to ensure it keeps it clean, espically to keep the Pads clean, that is a must if you want to use you Wave # 6 for many, many years. As it costs almost as much to replace the fire Plates in them then the cost of a new one. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

I don't see why it would not work. The tank is only 2.6gal so keep that in mind. It delivers 3.8 cfm @ 40psi and 3.3 cfm @ 90psi. I have to believe your application fits somewhere in the middle of these.

I am not sure. I'm sorry I cannot be much help but I would suggest starting with your propane provider or local plumbing store. you are fortunate to have the big tank to draw on. the little 20 pounders don't last too long and very expensive. good luck in your search!
